"Look Well to the Outlet of Life."
The electrician had slopped at the
street corner to renew carbons in
the urc lamps. A small hoy had
slopped to watch him. As the day
was bright and sunny the boy was
astonished to see that the man had
on rubber boots. " hat do you
wear those boots lor?" he ascUd
"Do you think it's Ruing to rain?"
The woikman laughed good
naturedly. "No, sonny, I wear
them so as to be sale from electric
shocks wht-n I handle these lamps,
lileciricity can't go through rubber
Very well, and one of the funny
things about electricity is that it
can't get into a person unless it
can get out again."
Is it noi true of other things in
life also? Take love, ltcan'iget
into a human heart unless it can
get out again. It must either find
an outlet in service or die. Yet
many persons forget that truth.
Young married people sometimes
let themselves become indifferent
to each other's needs and problems.
Each feels that the burden of do
mestic care rests wholly on his or
hershoulders. Instead of helping
each other they grow cold and
critical. Little by little the beauti
ful flower of love that ai first filled
the home with fragrance droops
and dies. Love cannot live with
out service.
Forgiveness too can never get
into a man unless it can gel out
again. Have you ever tried to ask
God's forgiveness while you were
secretly angry with one who had
done you either a real or a fancied
wrong? The very doora of heaven
seem locked against you. You
eannot really pray, for, like love,
forgiveness cannot bloom in the
sterile soil of a selfish soul.
Whosoever seeks the secret of
human happiness will find it in
these simple words, "Look well to
ihe outlets of life." The clearest
stream in the world will quickly
become a stagnant pool if its wa
ters find no escape. Clog the chan
nels of usefulness with the rubbish
of selfishness, harshness or indo
lence, and the streams of affection
will soon become a foul and stag
nant morass that reflects no loveli
ness and enriches no barren place.

"The Birth of a Nation" bringing forward David W. Griffiith's rare art of musical spectacle, opens an
engagement of two nights, Wednesday and Thursday, October 12ih and 1.3th, at the Weldon Opera
House. The first half of the great picture exhibits the salient events of the Civil war, which come to a close
at Appomattox just fifty years ago. Lincoln's call for troops, Sherman's march, the Battle of Petersburg,
Lee's surrender to Grant and the awful tragedy at Ford's Theatre live before the spectator of the Griffith
drama. In the second half the Souih's "second uprising," this lime against the carpetbag regime, is shown
in a thrilling story of reconstruction days. The romance of the "little Confederate colonel" Ben Cameron
with the Northerner Elsie Stoneman, and thai of the Unionist Captain Phil Stonrman with Margaret Cam
eron, the South Carolina lassie, maintains two threads of continuous love-interest throughout the story.
The fun and frolic of plantation days, as well as the heartache and pathos of the stricken South are shown.
The, great out-of-doors is Mr. Griffith's special field. Great battle scenes and the rides of the clan are
staged with the thousands of participants. There are 5,000 scenes in the spectacle and (it is estfmated) no
less than 200,000 interesting historical details. On the musical side Mr. Griffith attempted something pre
viously unheard of in connection with motion pictures. This waa the synchronizing of a complete sym
phonic score with the appearance of the important characters and the enactment of the principal scenes.
This instrumental music is played by a large orchestra, and supplemented by part-singing behind the
scenes. Somehow the old war-time tunes, thus thematically treated, make the "counterfeit presenti
ments," of long ago seem irresistibly real. Among the leading players in what was probably the largest
theatric cast ever assembled may be mentioned Joseph Henabery as President Lincoln, Donald Crisp and
Howard Gaye as Generals Gram and Lee; Mae Marsh as Flora Cameron; Henry B. Walthall, Lillian Gish,
Elmer Clifton, Miriam Cooper as the quartet of lovers; Ralph Lewis as Congressman Stoneman; Spottis
woode Aiken and Josephine Crowcll as the elder Camerons and George Seigman as Lynch.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION COMING,
D. W. Griffith's historical spectacle "The Birth of a Nation" will
come to the Weldon Opera House next Wednesday and Thursday,
October 12th and 13th. The "Birth of a Nation" is one of the mos1
widely discussed topics in the couniry. It established an absolutely
new an in the realm of the theatre the an of pantomimic screen
with music. It also created a irt -incurious sensation because of its vas
ter and more forceful treatment of the same theme as Thomas Dixon's
"The Clancman." The consequences of the Civil War in Southern
reconstruction are fully dealt with, and the nation reborn is apotheo
sized. Mr. Griffith, pioneer among directors, managed the stupendous
achievement without the aid of dialogue or speech, for motion pictures,
accompanying music and effects tell the coherent, logical and moving
story.
LOST LOVE,
The rose though crushed bears fragrance still,
Though you may tread it as you will,
Around its petals, dead at last,
The sweet perfume of all that's past
Sends forth its incense i the sky
And softly asks the reason why.
The heart of fondest hope bereft
Still sadly beats despite itself.
From day to day it struggles on.
While the past joys forever gone
From day lo day add to distress,
And for that heart there is no rest.
The mind benumb'd by sorrow's load
Yet travels its dark, wretched road.
As it recounts each pleasure lost.
Seeing it dead and crushed and tossed
Beneath the feet of cold mankind;
Thai mind to solace now is blind.
